The Eskdale secondary school site closed at the end of the 2024 academic year, after 71 years of operation. Once that decision had been made, staff started to gather an archive to record the school’s long and and illustrious history, and with permission from the head of the newly merged Whitby School, that archive was donated to the Whitby Literary and Philosophical Society. The task of the museum’s archive team is now to sort, classify and preserve the archive, which includes thousands of photographs from every decade.
This exhibition is a call to every staff member, pupil and parent with memories of their school to come and tell us about those days. Do you recognise anyone in the photographs? Do you have stories to tell? Memories to share? We want to know!
Exhibition runs from Tuesday 21st October until Sunday 14th December.
